Title: [WIP]Mutiny!
Post by: Shrike on August 20, 2008, 08:00:38 pm

Hey.

i was recently hooked on a Nitrome (www.nitrome.com (http://www.nitrome.com)) game, Mutiny. (If you've never played it, its kind of like Worms.)

After being inspired by the simple, stylistic and appealing pixel art, i thought i'd try to make a base using the same idea and style and then make some other stuff out of it.

First try:

then i realized how much i was over-complicating it, color-wise and completely revamped:

Jump or a walk:

Rotate:

Then i made a pirate:

New pirate:

And the a cyclops:

Next new:

Wolf:

New:

I think this could use some tweaking but im not sure where... Help?

Maybe change the skin color of the cyclops for another like blue? I think that the skin of the pirate and the skin of the cyclops are too similar.
The animations are great.

Yup, very cool cyclops.  :y:

Not sure about the blue-gray. Does it work?

Mmm... It´s looks like a vampire. Make some hair and a nose, I know that all the Mutiny characters don´t have a nose, but a wolf without a nose is not a wolf.

The wolf just looks like a wolf head. The body seems like the bottom part of the jaw. Make the difference more clear.

Hmm, I don't get that sense at all.  However the round head + fangs makes it look more like a bat or vampire or something rather than a wolf.  I think you might need a nose!

Gotcha. Nose in progress. While im making that, here are some things i was working on before:
Either a walk-hop thing or a jump:
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/exendia/Misc/bliptemplate2rjump2.gif) I think a walk-hop would work better for this, because of ease of programming. Damn it, the speep got all screwed up. it was a lot faster in Graphics Gale.
and a rotate:

EDIT
Here's the wolf:
